SR Suntour shows low-cost fork & Enduro damper

SR Suntour not only has numerous revisions in its programme for 2018, but also surprises with an extremely affordable MTB suspension fork, an Enduro shock with reservoir and carbon cranks.

An MTB suspension fork with up to 150 millimetres of travel for less than 400 euros - SR Suntour wants to enrich the affordable price segment. The new Zeron 35 comes with a steel spring and thus promises the best response behaviour. The all-mountain fork is designed for 29 or 27.5+ inch wheels and comes with a 15x110 boost axle.

SR Suntour is also premiering the TriAir damper with reservoir, which should feel particularly at home on enduro bikes and powerful all-mountain bikes. The size of the air chambers can be individually adjusted internally and the compression stage can be adjusted in three stages externally. The TriAir damper will also be available with a trunnion mount.

The TriAir damper with reservoir, platform lever and external rebound adjustment is said to be particularly customisable via the chamber volume inside.

The rest of the model range will undergo an extensive modernisation programme.

The RUX DH downhill fork comes with a completely new 27.5-inch casting and has been inflated to Boost dimensions with a 20-millimetre axle. Price: 1399 euros.

The crank series from SR Suntour has also been completely revised and features a new flagship model.

At the top of SR Suntour's crank series is the Auron carbon crank, exclusively for single drivetrains. Available in 170 and 175 millimetre lengths.

The Aion crank is the aluminium counterpart to the top model. Like its big sister, it is also available with chainrings with 30, 32 or 34 teeth.
